Man to bet life savings on 1 spin

[Great White]

Slight gambling problem?

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A British man who has sold all his possessions, including his clothes, will stand in a rented tuxedo on Sunday and bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

They're actually making a mini-series based around this guys gambling addiction.

he'd have more probability of success by leveraging himself to the max long as many S&P contracts as he could rather than a place where the HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.

Nah, Brits can't own guns. Maybe he'll have a salad fork in there.

He already sold the rights to his story for more than he is worth.

"He added that if he won he would probably take his winnings rather than spin again"

my god you people, he's not dumb. It's not just "some british guy," it's all a part of a major television show which is doubtless earning him far more than he's currently worth anyway. The man's a genius. If he wins, he wins. If he loses, he makes millions from the show.
